Gorgeous eye popping colour on this poppy, captured this yesterday (July 15, 2015), in this gracious lady's garden. We had a lovely chat and she even showed me the back garden. She had single poppies like this one and also had the Oriental Double Poppies, of such pretty colours.

I liked this poppy because it's smiling face turned up to the gorgeous sunshine, also the one bent pedal. It's a little different then this one I posted the other day. Click Here

OK Folks, say that title 3 times fast, (Eye Popping Poppy Foofy), it's a tongue twister, lol.

Used Adobephoto Shop Elements 10 and did layers to bring out more detail and bring out more richness in the blossom itself, then on the base layer I darkened the back ground to make this poppy pop. After that I used iPiccy.com to make it smaller.

Taking this time to Thank You in Advance for your comments and favs. Deeply appreciated.

Have a Sunny Day & take care my friend,

♥ Skates ♥

Perfect exposure as Richie said to get the details on those crimson petals and not always easy to do - excellent work Pat.

Oh, I love that pollen spread around in there. And the center is chalked full of detail. Excellent.
